What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the convenient location of Ibis Budget Glasgow, noting its proximity to the city centre and a shopping centre with multiple restaurants and a cinema. The rooms are considered a decent size with comfortable beds, though some have mentioned the lack of a kettle. Free parking is a definite plus, and the hotel is within walking distance of the Hydro for those attending events; plus, it is conveniently served by nearby bus stops. Some guests have noted a musky smell in the corridors.

mixed feelings about my stay

dirty floor stairwell door

i am NOT happy with the cleanliness i found. the shower had hair in it and the floor was dirty. also the lack of stairs was frustrating. i was told there WERE stairs, but i found out the stairwell door on the 6th floor could not be opened from the inside.

decent stay, a few drawbacks

helpful staff good selection thermostat issue traffic noise

the staff was helpful. they allowed me to store my bag both before check in and after check out since my flight times were not convenient. the on-site food outlets offered a good selection.

the thermostat looked to be stuck at 20c. i found it unbearable when sleeping. the first night, i opened the window all night, but it remained too hot and i heard loud traffic noise
